Choice Vegan Restaurant - Vegan Food in Kyoto

This post is a little bit retro, as I visited Choice vegan and gluten free restaurant in Kyoto last year, but I checked up on the menu and it is still valid. Plus, I need it on our Vegan Japan Travel pagebecause of its amazing homemade plant-based cheese.

If you visit Kyoto and you want some vegan cheese, and some other American-style vegan comfort foods, Choice does an awesome vegan cheese board.

They also sell the different cheeses packaged to go. I thought the cheeses were amazing and would have gladly grabbed them to go if I could.

Vegan Cream Cheese Pasta

Everything is gluten-free which can sometimes be a bad thing when it comes to pizza or pasta. The pizza wasn't so great at this restaurant but the pasta was delicious! Know that I couldn't get a picture before the family dug in so it looks a little depleted.

The corn soup was delicious. The salad with creamy dressy hit the spot perfectly with the nut cheeses and other heavy foods that were on the table.

The desserts were delicious. The cheesecake tasted remarkably like my mom's recipe, which is delicious.

Cheesecake that tasted exactly like my mom's recipe.

This place, refreshingly has a bit of a kid friendly vibe. There is a bookshelf and wooden letters that were fun, and the food and desserts hit the spot with appealing and classic kid-friendly foods.

There is also risotto, taco rice, and burgers on the menu. I can see why some people complain that there is a lack of Japanese food on the menu for tourists, but for an American living in Japan, this place was a MUST eat.
